At the end of the month the sheet is taken out and the checks of the customer cashed by the bank during the month are. listed on .the opposite side of the sheet. The sheetis then returned to the customer as a statement of his account, showing his balance. In this man'- ner the customers statements may be rendered at the end of each month with ease and despatch and without the usual duplication of work. The book combines this particular form of pass book with the check book, so that the two may be carried together at all times, and without the necessity of separate books, as is the ordinary custom. At the same time money which is to be deposited or which the user carries for running expenses, may becarried in the pocket designed for its reception, so that a very efficient type of combined check book, pass bookand bill boqk is provided.

Although I have described the preferred embodiment of my i lvent'ion, I may desire to make such changes in the construction,-

combination and arrangement of parts thereof as do not depart from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended elaims.
